Unleash your child’s imagination this summer! Art camp provides children a wonderful introduction to several forms of visual art. In our regular art camp, each day brings a new project that may include drawing, painting, printmaking, or sculpture. Art camps run from Monday to Friday and have a varied curriculum from week to week. Our specialty camps, like Drawing Camp or Painting Camp, focus on immersion in one particular medium.

Each week of our regular Art Camp is different! Register for multiple weeks throughout the summer for an immersive artistic experience!

You can register for full-day or half-day camps.

Tuition for full-day camps includes a supervised lunch hour. Campers in any all-day session should bring their own lunch.

Combine regular and specialty camps, or two specialty camps, for a custom, full-day schedule! When creating your own full-day camp, there is an additional $35 per week charge for the supervised lunch hour.
